... are sacrificed, as according to the old animistic believes the souls of animals need to join the body to the next life. For the high noble class at least 24 buffaloes have to be sacrificed, but the more the better. As this is a costly business the family takes time to organize this and therefore the ceremony and the (re)burying takes place months after the person has died, usually in July and August which coincides with the dry season, the Indonesian holiday ...

Seen: Pelabuhan Paotere - the old port. The Fort. Bantimurung Waterfall. Eaten: Fried fish. Barbecued fish. A massive plate of sweet and sour tiger prawns for $3. Bintang and Anker. Learned: Anker is nicer than Bintang. Makassar is HOT! When someone offers you a drink you are not ...

... o corpo ajudou. Passámos demasiado tempo em Makassar, bastante mais do que o sítio merecia, pois ficámos lá encalhados à espera do nosso vôo de retorno a Kuala Lumpur, o melhor dia que lá passámos foi o dia em que nos vinhamos embora! :-D O lado positivo é que tivémos bastante tempo para actualizar o log, e agora estamos quase sem atraso! Na hora de embarcar para o vôo de regresso, pareceu que toda a gente estava tão desejosa de partir como nós pois assim que ...

... from the kids. It was nice to finally see the ocean. Our next stop was Fort Rotterdam (historical artifact left over from the invasions of Netherlands and Japan). It was a nice little fort, this was my first inkling that the students were going to be a handful. Instead of listening to the guide, they wander through the museum talking and taking silly pictures. I gave them my speech, if an adult talks you ...

Perjalanan pertama dengan tujuan bekerja.. Cuma nginep semalem aja sih, gak sempet kemana2.. Beli kain aja sama sirup markisa.. Berangkat naik Lion, pulang naik Garuda.. O iya, yg menarik adalah inilah kali pertama saya naik Garuda lebih dari 2 jam sehingga mendapatkan jatah makan berat, hehehehe.. Maklum biasanya cuma kelas Surabaya-an aja :P

Ramadan started on the 23/24 of Sept but hasn't impacted my travels as I was in the north of Sulawesi which is predominately Christian. Makassar is predominately Muslim but thankfully that doesn't seem to have affected opening hours for shops and restaurants. In some parts of Indonesia you would be lucky to get a meal during ...

... ne bo nic slisati. Greva v hribe proti severu, na 3-dnevni treking v Mamasa Valley in za 3 dni v Tana Torajo. Ker interneta celo v mestih ni ravno veliko, se naslednjic oglasiva iz ... Selamat malem (lahko noc), Mojca&Tomaz P.S. Aja, hello mister!??? Tako se za nama derejo z vseh vogalov. Pravzaprav se derejo name, sva namrec med muslimani, in sem jaz sefe, hehehe. So pa na plazi radi pogledali za Mojco, ki se za razliko od drugih zensk ni kopala polno oblecena.

... tudi ze kupila karte in jo dobro prakticirava. Na Togeanih sva se odlocila, da ne bova reskirala in bova na centralni Sulawesi raje pogledala iz letala. Zgodbe o zamaskirancih, ki grozijo s pistolo in te sprasujejo katere vere si so naju prepricale, da se nisva sla heroja. Pa tudi voznja z letalom je bila bolj udobna varianta. Tako sva se torej vrnila v Gorontalo, od koder sva letela v Makasar in od tam v pokrajino Toraja, ki ...
